Its really getting to the point that no matter how many consumers rights Google violates and no matter how many consumers Apple protects, the adherents to this holy war against Apple will never admit things are not as black and white as they insist on portraying.
No, it's not black and white. But the level of gray at which people draw their line in the sand isn't a universal constant.
Sure hardliners exist, but there is no reason to call everyone hardliners for a difference in opinion.
Edit: You're probably not being down-voted by adherents in some holy war. Just people who genuinely believe that neither Apple's nor Google's can be seen in black and white. It's possible to discuss the downsides of something even if you have decided that, in totality, there is more up than down.
And of course this is hacker news. The hordes of android fans down vote me with no comment, no argument, because it isn't about the facts of reality, it's about ideology and hatred.
So, this is a site where, if you don't kowtow to the prominent ideology you get buried.
That reflects more on you than those of us who are making counter arguments.
